Does Fr Adams travel about celebrating Maasses with talks and healing serviceshttp://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon5.gif

I think he came to our Franciscan Friary once.

Wonderful Priest.

Hi!

I think Fr. Adams does travel. He is really wonderful.

I was involved with SCRC for many years, until moving to Northern California in 1990. I really miss it. As you can see, something was happening somewhere, all the time.

Now, I usually make it down to the Conference over Labor Day weekend. I couldn’t this year but we are making plans now, to fly down next September.

You can spend hours exploring this wonderful website.
By the way, unless they have changed their policy, you can buy convention tapes of all the workshops for cost. I do not think they make any profit off the tapes, they have hundreds of all the best teachers in the Charismatic Renewal. I have a very large library that I need to update.
 
OK I’ll risk one more report (I have quite a few–I’m the publicity manager for our conference) This is our latest eventsmileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_218.gif

**4th Annual Catholic Charismatic **

Revival Under The Stars

Jesus said, “Come to Me”

We did—and we were blessed.

We came to Mt Manresa, on Sunday, August 22, 2004 for the Picnic and 4th Annual Revival Under the Stars. Jesus smiled in the fabulous weather, and warm fellowship of the lovely picnic. Fr Michael Allen, president of the Staten Island Council of Churches joined us for our feast. Connie Dini, Linda Morano and Mary Heaney shopped and prepared tasty salads and other goodies, which were grilled to perfection by Chef Aldo Dini, assisted by Bob Cosgrove. A special thanks to Mt. Manresa for allowing us to use the grounds and for all of their help and assistance.

Revival started at 5:00PM with the procession of the banners from the Conference and attending Prayer Groups. Msgr James Dorney, Vicar of Staten Island, squeezed us into his busy schedule to greet us and speak of the feast of the Queenship of Mary, which is August 22. The Lamb of God Music Ministry combined with the rousing praise of Moylin, Elaine and Sundra, leaders of Holy Cross Prayer Group, ignited the blaze, which burned brightly all evening.

Come to Me–Our speaker, Josephine Cachia, reminded us that the lively music and enthusiastic preaching were way secondary to Jesus in the Eucharistic, and the best wrapping for our gifts is humility.

Come to Me—The fire was stoked by the stirring music of Holy Cross Music Ministry, and the moving reports on missionary revival by Jeanette Chennai & Fr Ian Taylor from Trinidad, and then it roared as Fr Ian exacted wondrous praise from us before he and Fr John King processed in with the Blessed Sacrament. The Monstrance was set in the place of honor, to receive the prayer and reverence of the members of the congregation who came forward individually. What a powerful moment to stand in front of Jesus—enflamed by such high praise & worship.

Betty Plancon, Chairperson of the conference, acknowledged her service team and all prayer group leaders, and proclaimed the commencement of The Silver Jubilee of the Conference. A dinner dance is planned for the spring, and a cruise for the summer, as well as our annual Communion breakfast and Unity Night Mass.

We reached the crescendo with Amazing Grace in song and in our hearts, as the evening ebbed in the gentle glow of the glow sticks—but the flame will burn brightly until we meet again.

Thank you for Posting that.

I have not been to anything this year because of my illness and that really inspired me.

Sounds absolutely wonderful.
 
Just wanted to share with you this man of God who has changed many lives in the charismatic movement. He goes all over the world to share our Lords Love and his Healing Hand. Through his ministry I recieved my spiritual healing.Praise God. I dont know how to set up links but this is his site. www.fatherdiorio.org ] Dont miss an oppertunity to see him if he comes to your area. God bless.
 
I love Father DiOrio! I have been at a few of his services here in California. It has been quite a few years.

I saw incredible healing miracles at one of our Parishes. These were folks who were members of the Parish and included wheelchair bound people getting out of their chairs and pushing them down the aisle. We saw deaf folks hear as well. There was indeed followup and the folks remained “healed”.

Father has some excellent books that I highly recommend.

I haven’t seen Father on the west coast in many years. You folks on the east coast are so very blessed.

Robert, Father Diorio,passed out this image called In His Image. It was a picture of Jesus Christ with the pictures of all his children as the image of His Face. How powerful!! I could see the pictures of all my family members. And how true that we are made in the image of Christ. I still treasure this image today. 👍

I don’t believe this! He is the priest who first blessed me and I was slain in the Spirit! I know him very well! He was stationed at a former parish of mine for a while…I knew him before he was “Touched by the Spirit w/ the Gift of Healing”…I lost touch w/ him after I left the Renewal many years ago. I’m so happy to know that he is still thriving! ~ Annunciata:)
 
Hi Roberta,

I have a miracle to share and I guess this is as good a place as any….

Remember my asking you to pray that I would have a safe trip this past weekend?

Well…My Husband and I were in a terrible auto accident. Some teenagers were racing at a busy intersection in NY and ran a red light…we were turning on the green light…miraculously my husband saw him coming from behind a car already stopped and accelerated ahead just enough that we weren’t broad sided…Lost our back wheel and car was totaled.

We were taken to emergency room in ambulance and everyone was amazed that we escaped w/ some bruises and strained muscles and released virtually unharmed!

The teens weren’t hurt either…their car stopped 100 yards away and their car was totaled too…that’s how fast they were going! :bigyikes:

I know it was the prayers.:gopray2: We travel to NY often…this time I was very uneasy…can’t quite explain it, so I asked for extra prayers from a few of you I was PMing before I left …You were one and I know Jrabs was another. Thank you. God does listen to prayers…sometimes He has said no to me…this time He said yes…. Praise Him Now and Forever! :bowdown2:
Annunciata:)
 
PRAISE GOD!

Yes, I was, indeed praying for you. I looked for you this morning, thinking you would be here and got this yukky feeling in my tummy when I didn’t see you. I knew all was not quite well.

I then went to Mass and offered Communionn for you. Thank the Lord you are both ok as well as the kids. Dumb, dumb kids!

Did you go to Fr Ralphs webpage? I am so thrilled to find all his books and tapes. His tapes are only $5.00, that is hard to believe. A few weeks ago, I was looking for the books I have and they are not in my book case. I hope that means I lent them to my daughter in law. Two whole boxes of books were lost in our move back from WA. I will definately be buying more.

Thank God again that you are OK. I think God is bringing you back to the Renewal. Do you see how we have been brought together here, from my first day?

The Holy Spirit Blows as He Will!!! 3000 miles across the continant is nothing to Him.

I know…it’s amazing… Funny all I could do while I was lying strapped on the board w/ the neckbrace on me were songs of praise and Amazing Grace! I was in a bubble…very calm in my soul but my body was shaking all over! It was like being in a dead zone for a few moments everything was quiet and greyish…
Well to answer your question about being called back…in my heart I’ve never really left… Their just isn’t any mature prayer community near me…
Okay, so I’ll put you on it since your prayers are working Miracles!..
BTW,.I had my Rosary in my hands all the way just giving thanks…(Glorious Mysteries) I know Our Lady’s Arms were around us since we both wear the Scapular and Miraculous Medals. Annunciata:)
 
Thank You!!

Do you know, the other day you said you were saying a decade for me, my breathing mellowed out as I read it.
Maybe if you do a complete 5 decade Rosary, I will be completely healed! hehe.

At least the doctor says it is NOT Radiation Pneuminitis but somethig similar to asthma. He also said it will not go away with time. In that case, it will just have to go away with Prayer.
AMEN???
Amen!!!
 
Could someone please help me? I have asked this before on other discussion boards but didn’t get an answer. How can I find a Church that offers Charismatic Masses? I live in Canton, Ohio. I am in the Diocese of Youngstown. I just wonder if anyone knows about a Church that offers Charismatic Masses in this area. How would I find this out? I was brought to the Charismatic Renewal by God and praying about it and questioning what is was and my questions were answered after i ended up at a Praise and Worship in Steubenville. I was Baptized with the Holy Spirit that night. I have been longing to be a part of the Charismatic Renewal ever since. I really want to find a Church around here that offers this and I want to get more involved with The Charismatic Renewal also. Can anyone help? Thank you very much and God Bless.
 
This seems to be the best place to ask the question that has been plaguing me for several years.

So many identify themselves as “Charismatic”. What exactly does that mean…I’m sure it’s individual, so I will welcome individual responses/definitions.

Here is why I ask…several years ago I had a good friend who “informed” me that I am a “Charismatic”. At the time although I was what I would call “spiritual”, I was not doing a very good job of practicing Catholicism. I was somewhat adrift, searching, and knew that I could not be anything other than Catholic…but I couldn’t seem to find my place. Of course, considering that I was adrift in a sea of dissenting churches in south Minneapolis…but I digress.

Anyway, his comment has never left me. I think I have a history with those who were Charismatic, and I will relate this following miracle:

When I was very young, about 3 or 4…I remember going to my mother’s friend’s home. B.Christianson. They had a little girl who was born with congenitive heart failure. I’d met her before and took note of her blue color. I didn’t know what was wrong with her and really, I saw her as I did any other child…but I think I was a little more at ease with her for some reason, although normally I was painfully shy.

Anyway, every time our families got together they prayed over us, hands extended. I remember on one occasion, the last in my recollection, she and I stood in the middle of the circle. I was diagnosed with an extremely lazy eye…they were going to perform surgery to align the muscle so that I could see straight and have depth perception. I remember looking at the other girl and rolling my eyes in embarassment. She just looked back and accepted the prayers.

The next day I went with Mom into the hospital where the procedure would take place. I was scared to death but didn’t really understand what was happening. I was taken into a pre-op exam, where the doctor announced to Mom in amazement that my condition had literally been corrected within only a few days!

I now have an astigmatism and will for life…but none of the initial predictions have come to pass…as it is with miracles.

Throughout my life I’ve had many many divine experiences…is this what makes one charismatic, or is it only a desire for the gifts of the spirit? I have never really asked for gifts and anything very demonstrative is very difficult for me as I tend to be reserved in that matter.

Recently…long story…I was the one designated in a group to pray for our priest, who was at a party I attended. I’m not good at this. I realize that this was a gift for spiritual growth, but my mind froze and I couldn’t even remember his NAME! But I prayed for him and all priests and asked others in the group to help. I meant every word I said…but in any case I think I proved to be a dismal failure as a leader of prayer! :o

I’m sorry…I just have so many questions and I guess I’m still trying to figure out where I really belong within the church. But if anyone can answer my initial question, I’d be very appreciative!

In Christ…oh…and if you all could please pray that I get a new computer with a working modem very soon! My laptop harddrive fried and I’m accessing now through my work computer (laptop) and I know I can’t continue to do this for long!

Thanks and God Bless,

JCP

Praise & thank you Jesus!!

Spontaneous healings do happen through any prayer, but it does seem to happen more often with the laying on of hands.

Your family must be or have been involved in the Charismatic movement at least to some extent for you to have had that experience. No one can help you with information?

I have a 1997 directory, which only lists private homes for Canton, with no phone number.

Here is the link to the NSC which publishes the directory. perhaps they can help you.

Again there is a diifference between the adjective Charismatic, and being involved in the Charismatic movement.

Sincere prayer is always pleasing to God—God knows our heart—he doesn’t need our words. This is why Praying in Tongues is so beneficial—our humanness does not get in the way.

Are you involved in an Authentic Catholic Charismatic group connected with a Parish or other Catholic authority group?

Perhaps you are blessed with the gift of healing. You can pray over or for anyone, but please remember, these gifts should be discerned by a competant Spiritual Advisor. Perhaps your parish can help you with this one. Don’t go out on your own. These gifts are for the community, and it is always best to remain in community.

Spirit of wisdom, guide JCP and help JCP to be open to that guidance. Help JCP to truly feel Your Peace, Your Healing, Your Joy and Your Love.

Love and Prayers,

SuZ

you might want to contact the Sacred Heart Retreat House in Youngstown. I have attended several charismatic retreats there, Life in the Spirit, Healed in the Spirit (formerly from Aurora), hubby still has clients up in Canton & Massilon and makes it to the Game every year.
 
Robertaf:
I will confirm that this thread is meant to be!!! Praise God…
I’ve had this exact thread in my heart also…Thank You.

There is sooo much I’d like to share, so I will start with one at a time.
First I’d like to thank you Jesus, for bringing me into the Charismatic Renewal…
You are an awesome God!!
I live in the country and attend a small Catholic Church here.
For a few years I was a leader for our Youth Group.
I took 5 young people (14-16 yrs) to the Martyr’s Shrine in Midland Ont. for a weekend re-treat. It was put on by a group of Charismatic Priest from Ottawa.
On the Saturday evening, they brought out the Blessed Sacrament for Adoration for 4 hrs. There was an amazing band playing all Praise and Worship Music…WOW!!! What an experience!!! It was soooo awesome…Altogether there were about 500 young people there…Of course, some (along with the kids I brought) who were totally blown away, by all the singing and praising in front of the Blessed Sacrament…They had never experience anything like it.
Alot, of the young people were on their knees on the ground (as the whole weekend was outside) for a couple of hours…crying!! For the first time in their lives, they actually felt Our Lord, and they were crying because of the hurt they had done to Our Lord and never realized it till, that exact moment.
The praise and worship went on for about 4 hrs, while priests were hearing confessions throughout this whole time.

God is sooo good. God is sooo good. God is sooo good, He’s soo good to me.
Thank you Jesus for allowing me this very deep experience.
I Love You Lord.
I thank You Lord.
I Praise You Lord.

Come Holy Spirit!!!
Jeanette
